“If Tamra sounds spacey, she’s not. Her songs range from aggressive, screaming punk to beautifully melodic rhythm and blues, the very definition of garage-rock. Her band’s music is raw, poetic, sloppy and infectious, and Tacoma Ballet is simply a bare-bones, kick-ass rock and roll record.”
– Rolling Stone

“Though Spivey’s soft, pale features and casual demeanor sharply contrast bewitching dark-haired progenitors Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, and Diamanda Galas, she appropriates the same reckless autonomous spirit and hard-fought freedom these highly individual renegades do.”
– Aquarian Weekly

“The jaw dropping one in a million talent of this band is poet/vocalist Tamra Spivey. Her squeals, punk howls, growls, and soft cajoling steal the spotlight. Like a Marianne Faithful full of wild abandon or a Courtney Love with more soul and a wider variety of tonal deliveries, she sounds like she’s wringing out every pore and gland to get her visceral message across. Wailing through angry, sultry, mournful, demanding, accusatory, she sounds like a demented street sage baring her soul with wide open screams while hiding angel wings of delicate beauty under a shabby, dirty raincoat.”
– Tangerine Magazine

The beautiful Tamra is a cult figure of the underground in the USA: artist, poet, and muse of Lucid Nation, musical creature born to demonstrate the possibility "of being inspired both by Guy Debord and by Ronnie Van Zandt". Adverse to every rule of show business to the point of rejecting any prospect of a recording contract and publishing her records for the tiny Brainfloss Records, Tamra embodies an ideal better than anyone else: that of the pure and independent artist, in full control of their own creations and unwilling to compromise, even if they had to grant an interview on the radio against their will. Lucid Nation are a sort of independent collective founded on her genius" La bella Tamra è un personaggio di culto dell'underground USA: artista, poetessa, ve musa dei Lucid Nation, creatura musicale nata per dimostrare la possibilità “di essere ispirati sia da Guy Debord che da Ronnie Van Zandt”. Avversa ad ogni regola dello show business al punto di rifiutare qualsiasi prospettiva di un contratto discografico e pubblicare i suoi dischi per la minuscola Brainfloss Records, Tamra incarna meglio di chiunque altro un ideale: quello dell'artista puro e indipendente, in pieno controllo delle proprie creazioni e non disposto ad alcun compromesso, fosse anche quello di dover concedere un'intervista alla radio contro la propria volontà.I Lucid Nation sono una sorta di collettivo indipendente fondato sul suo genio."
